I'm having fun with this.
1 suggestion. I don't like the way the clouds look with them blowing through very fast. It seems like the mission is on time acceleration when the clouds look like this. This mode is hectic enough, so I don't think you need to do that. Otherwise this is a challenging and versatile mode.

I'm lovin' this mode. Pretty much what I've been trying to do my self. Thx for saving me the headache. Extremely fun, and dynamic.

(couldn't get to the BI forum) but the only bug I found is that: recruited vehicle drivers act like they never dismount if ordered to. EX: you have the driver disembark, so you can drive. Then when trying to order him in to a cargo position, he will only have the option to "disembark", permanently.

Great missions! They're very entertaining. I play around with them more than any others. With the flexibility, the level of replayability is infinite, and the intense firefights keep you going for hours. It may be a head on battle, but you can still strategize to limit how many casualties your squad takes. Again, great missions!

Some Minor Problems (The missions are awesome even if these things can't be fixed. They don't take away from the battle at all):

1 - If I set the size of the Squads to more than 9 Units (10-15), it still limits all Squad sizes to 9.
2 - If I have 9 Units, I can call a Supply Truck to make it 10. However, if I have 8 Units and already have a Supply Truck that makes it 9, I can't call another regular Unit.
3 - When putting more than 10 Squads on each Team, the extra Squads say "Scalable" and usually don't function after the battle starts - The "Scalable" shows beside the last Groups on each team in the stats during the game: 0-0-0.

Possible Improvements:

1 - Allow playability on other user-created maps like Duala and Lingor Islands.
2 - I know the constraints of working with the small battlefied for use of Jets, however, if you have more time and patience, maybe you could make the Jets a Support Unit the same as the AH Support where they spawn about 5 to 10 km from the battlefield and allow whoever requests it to control them. If you do add Jet Support, the cost should be around 25 Score. *The added costs would makeup for the damage they inflict and difficulty to shoot them down*
3 - The support costs for helos with guided weapons systems should be increased to atleast 20 Score as it's too easy to earn enough points to call them...and they quickly remove any hard earned armor from the battlefield in mere seconds. *The added costs would makeup for the damage they inflict...and decrease how rapidly AI can call for the support*
4 - Allow for the option to increase the length of the battlefield up to 3,000 Meters to accomodate Tank Battles.

Hello Dragon Zen
I have a problem with this excellent mission. It prevents me from playing.
When I die, I respawn normally, but the screen turns red. Everything seems to be normal because I can hear the battle, shoot, run, walk, and press commands. the only problem is that it was like my character had a red blanket on his eyes. Third person has the same problem.
I can see the text, I can see the map and exit the game normally.
But the entire "world" seems red and that's all there is.
Any help? your missions are the only ones doing this...

Description:
Arma is a realistic war game, but I want to provide a mission for entertainment.

Features:
The major feature of my mission is 4F:

1.Furious: In this mission, you are the center of the frontline, your enemy appear in front of you and friends come from behind. You can set battlefield smaller (see "Flexible") to enjoy crazy CQB! That's why I recommend Fallujah map.
Battlefield will move with position of groups, so every meter is valuable. You need to buy weapons and recruit soldiers, try your best to push the frontline to enemy base and win the game.

2.Flexible: Firstly, size of battlegroup, number of group, so many options let you make your own battle which suitable for your appetite. Call radio 0-0-9, Most of options can be change during the game!
Secondly, system will search exist weapons and vehicle automaticly, so that you can enjoy your downloaded Weapons and Vehicles in this mission! And if you want, you can change the soldiers and vehicle on battlefield.

3.Fruitful: You can enjoy all kinds of weapons and vehicle (No plane available because of the size of battlefield). You can switch position in Helicopter to enjoy the gunner.
There are 2 submissions in this version, in which you can fly AH or be a sniper. You can call them by radio if you are addicted to them and don't want to wait. :P
Besides, Different kinds of supply, including Artillery, AH, Deocy and Detection make the battlefield more colorful.

4.Fantastic: Some supply, such as Decoy, Detection, Teleport and SmokeWall and so on, are not that realistic. Your two NPC soldiers are free and save their weapons when respawn. You will also get welfare if you lack of money. All of these are designed for an enjoyful experience.
